Igor,

I did not see any message on gs-code-review indicating that your patches had
been approved.  (I am not your official reviewer.)  Did I miss it?

I too dislike waiting a week or sometimes longer to apply patches that I
have posted to gs-code-review, especially if I am working on more than one
project, but I consider this a reasonable price for having the review
process work well.  Part of the "social contract" for gs-code-review is that
reviewers will review patches quickly.  If a patch I have posted is not
reviewed within 1 week, I send a reminder to Raph, who is my official
reviewer.

Since your patches affect the same files that Jack and I have been working
on, I have to handle the merge process.  Fortunately, the patches are small,
so even though about half of them create conflicts that I have to fix
manually, it won't take me a lot of time.

In the future, please wait for review before committing patches.
